my gun shoots better with shiny brass...plus not only does the shiny brass make me look like a pimp at the range if the sun catches it just right it blinds the guy next to me which improves my odds of winning the match.

Didn't reload anything today, but finally shot my very first reloads after a year of acquiring equipment and doing a lot of reading.

Run of the mill 55gr Hornady fmjbt .223, SB primer, with 24.0 - 24.8 gr of H335. Windy out there so groups weren't ideal. Just happy every round went bang and I didn't blow off my face.

150 rounds of .308. 150gr bullet on top of 49.5gr of cfe 223 @ 2.80 oal.

Have never used that powder in 308 and am wondering how you can even get 49.5 grns in a 308 case, of any powder. 47 seems to be a compressed load for most at 2.80 oal. That would seem to be a very scary load to me, without even looking in the books.

The tumbler was making noise yesterday. Went threw many loads of 45acp brass.
Now I have a bucket full. Time to start the deprime/resize process.
I better get the coffee going and the Robert Johnson CD on.

100 rounds .45 auto: 230gr RN plated x-treme with 3.9gr Clays and a 100 230gr LRN, Missouri[plain] using, new to me, 5.6gr BE-86. Find out Mon how they shoot. The Missouri/BE-86 load that is. I know what the Clays will do.
